Best Discomfort Poems

hanging in the air
humidity’s heaviness . . .
the river’s slow crawl


On the Mississippi lies the beautiful little city where I once lived. How many times I trudged up inclined streets; or leaning forward, red-faced and panting, pressed up slopes with all my might, feet on...

A question set up,
To cause discomfort and pain,
Anonymously....

Does everybody feel the same as I do?
Lost? Adrift? Disconnected? Confused?
Does anyone know how to ease the hurt of truth
For the accuser, as well as the accused?

I've heard there's bliss
Found somewhere in ignorance
For those who have been stripped
Of their already fleeting innocence

So I continue to...

I can’t stay clear of you
Everyday meet we must
There is nothing I can do
To avoid you
Yet you treat me like a piece of 
You are so full of misery
Wish I could avoid you
Now I must make that discovery
On how to make do with you

You are...

Hand on the leather, 
I held on for the bell, 
Sure it was a winner. 
I was riding so well,
But then the bull threw me; 
Introduced me to the dirt.  
Hell, I only broke my shoulder, mama, 
How bad can it hurt?

No, I’m not...

Naturally caring to women with masculinity so pristine
I own the road, yet they squeeze through the bridle path
I have found my peace but nature envies me,
allowing God’s craft to be an inevitable punishment.
No honeycomb is invisible to admirers
his love for me comes with such consequences.
‘I...

I'd like to walk across the water.
I'd like to walk across the sea.
I'd like to save your sons and daughters.
I'd like to bring them all home to me.
I'd like to raise up all your fore fathers.
I'd like to bring the world to love and peace.

But...

Arid-tanned leaves,
vigorously stripped 
from their cages by
thick cold winds,

luring them to dance
like elegant swans,
swaying dangerously
naked to speeding
express, testing their fate. 

I hear the roars and 
dark clouds 
setting up the stage. 

You only hear nature's
voice through our pen. 
Their pain, happiness, 
memories and laughter.

I'm agree with discomfort but I makes remain yours.
I will meet you or not,but I remain in your heart.
I'm agree with discomfort but I makes remain yours.

My love is like silence but it is pure like God.
Meeting you in this life is pleasing to me.

I'm...

What a day! It’s pouring so hard . . .
I’d to go to the airport to pick up somebody
a wet day! ‘un día mojado’, such a day, indeed!
but, I’d to go for he must have arrived already.

When I got there passengers in drove were elsewhere,
cabs,...

(with thanks to the band "Rehab" for the inspiration)

Just staring blankly
another day of feeling nothin'
praying for somethin'
I guess it's back to that
Prozac wall
how it kills me to see y'all
laughing, lovin' life
joyously enthralled
cold rain empty looks
battered old leather books
things said that I guess I...
mistook

I've forgotten how...

I wake up miserable
could it be you're not here
to put me to sleep
I need your voice
I need your comfort
If that ever leaves
I'll be like this forever
I'm afraid to leave
all that I know
because I know 
I'll never get it back
I need to fight these fears
and stay...

Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die—quote by Carrie Fisher 

You must pick one or the other time has passed
Warning signs have stopped tipped the scales
caution is not priority in here  fairy tales
Why come to this, and all...

A REVELATION
*************
A revelation, no matter gender,
pulchritude, humans natural beauty!
A Paragon of virtuosity!
Talks and walks with splendour, no pretender!
Causing no discomfort, one to adore!
Such charisma, one would hope they had too,
showing, blazing, hoping it is all true!
Eight below, charisma helps warm a core!

I had to ask for your affection.
The first indication that you weren’t worthy of mine.
Love is meant to be easy.
At least, when it’s with the correct person.
Loving you was shifting teeth,
Picking at hangnails,
An off-kilter set to the jaw.
Loving you was uncomfortable.
Not unpleasant, but something deep...
